WOW !

Pity about the shadow in the foreground - but I don't suppose you could do anything about that at the time.

Ummm looking again - is it actually straight ?
let the education continue

Yep, I had a problem with the sun - there are shadows in the background also. BTW the shot is straight - the hills on the skyline are sloping left to right - I used the tower to set the perpindicular.
Thanks for commenting.

Great shot, helecopter trip? I agree the tower is vertical.

This shows just what a marvel the Eiffel Tower really is, good view.

I think there is a lot you can do to give it a bit more punch.
A slight horizontal perspective adjustment will take away questions about the picture being straight. The Eifel Tower is but the angle towards the tower isn't.

By raising the contrast on the sky scrapers you get some more clarity.
And by adding a mild blue gradient on the sky you can even recover some cloud detail.

This would get rid of the overall hazy and flat appearance, which now spoils a otherwise great picture.

Ohhh, your sensor needs some cleaning I think.
Best regards,

Martin.
